Bonding and IMF Flashcards
Molar Mass
Mass in grams of one mole of that substance.
Electronegativity
A measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons.
Intramolecular Bond
A bond which occurs between atoms within molecules.
Ionic Bond
Transfer of electrons and subsequent electrostatic attraction.
Covalent Bond
Sharing of at least one pair of electrons by two non-metal atoms.
Pure Covalent Bond
An equal sharing of electrons.
Polar Covalent Bond
Unequal sharing of electrons leading to a dipole forming. This is the
result of a difference in electronegativity
Metallic Bond
The bond between a positive kernel and a sea of delocalised electrons.
Intramolecular Bond
A weak force of attraction between molecules, ions, or atoms of noble gases.
Kinetic Energy
The energy an object has as a result of the object’s motion.
Kinetic-Molecular Theory
All matter consists of small particles which move continuously. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of which matter consists.
